Exploit in Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War
If you're a fan of Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, you should be extra careful at the moment. There are reports of a security vulnerability that allows hackers to access other players' IP addresses, which can cause the victim's game to crash. This security vulnerability affects all platforms and has been brought up by several members of the community as well as the well-known Call of Duty YouTuber Xclusive Ace.
So far, neither Activision nor Treyarch have responded to this exploit or announced a timeline for a solution. The security vulnerability also affects consoles (unlike previous hacks that were mainly on PC) and disabling crossplay does not protect players.
How to Protect Yourself
If you absolutely must play Black Ops Cold War, consider using a VPN or, better yet, taking the risk, as those who know your IP address may be able to impersonate you, steal your information, and find out your exact location. As Black Ops Cold War was recently released, it is likely that Activision is working on a solution. We will inform our readers as soon as we receive any news.
Other Call of Duty Titles
While waiting for a solution to this security vulnerability, you could also try other Call of Duty titles. For example, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is a classic of the series that still has many fans. If you don't already have a key for the game, you can get one from us at Keyfuchs.
Be Careful with Online Gaming
It is important to note that security vulnerabilities and exploits in online games are not uncommon. Therefore, you should always be cautious and ensure that your computer and personal data are protected. Use strong passwords and keep your software up to date. If possible, use two-factor authentication for your online accounts.
Future Updates and Solutions
We will keep you updated as Activision and Treyarch respond to this exploit and offer a solution. In the meantime, be cautious and perhaps try other Call of Duty titles to avoid jeopardizing your gaming experience. Stay safe and keep on gaming!
